Global environmental impacts of the meat industry by type 2019

The traditional meat industry is known to have a relatively high environmental impact, mostly due to high emissions and water consumption. Globally, production of beef emitted around 99.5 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilogram as of 2019, over nine times the emissions from pork production.

传统肉类产业因其高排放和水资源消耗而闻名，对环境产生相对较大的影响。截至2019年，全球牛肉生产每千克排放约99.5千克的二氧化碳当量，是猪肉生产排放量的九倍以上。
